Is this grammatically correct?

I am writing a story using the past tense, so the narrations are all in past tense. When I come across this kind of sentence, is it okay for me to write:
I supposed it would be okay to persuade her.
Or should it still be 'I suppose it would be okay to persuade her'?

JesterLegacy Or should it still be 'I suppose it would be okay to persuade her'? If you supposed something in the past, then use the past tense of the verb.
